Automatic Irrigation System

Agriculture is the backbone of Indian Economy. Irrigation is a basic determinant factor of Agriculture and it is the most powerful constrains on the increase of agricultural production. Irrigation is affected by highly inadequate quantity and quality of water, soil and minerals which are the most essential components. Since, it is hardly available in our country, it is necessary to use a suitable method which subsequently reduces human effort and to increase the productions amidst of the consequences such as leaching of nutrients from soil and water. The main objective of this paper is to use an efficient method of irrigation using the recent trends of our growing technology. It is by using mobile apps or remote control systems which is known as Automatic Irrigation System, which will be of great use to farmers that can be used from home. In this system, the GSM receives message from the user and sends to the microcontroller through which the action is implemented. Thus, this system can be efficiently used for soil and water management through Automation

Remotely the system allows the user to effectively monitor and control the house/office appliances and equipments via the mobile phone set by sending commands in the form of SMS messages

Taxonomic Classification of IoT Smart Home Voice Control

Voice control in the smart home is commonplace, enabling the convenient control of smart home Internet of Things hubs, gateways and devices, along with information seeking dialogues. Cloud-based voice assistants are used to facilitate the interaction, yet privacy concerns surround the cloud analysis of data. To what extent can voice control be performed using purely local computation, to ensure user data remains private? In this paper we present a taxonomy of the voice control technologies present in commercial smart home systems. We first review literature on the topic, and summarise relevant work categorising IoT devices and voice control in the home. The taxonomic classification of these entities is then presented, and we analyse our findings. Following on, we turn to academic efforts in implementing and evaluating voice-controlled smart home set-ups, and we then discuss open-source libraries and devices that are applicable to the design of a privacy-preserving voice assistant for smart homes and the IoT. Towards the end, we consider additional technologies and methods that could support a cloud-free voice assistant, and conclude the work

Design and Construction of Voice Controlled Smart Power Strip

This paper focuses on voice control for smart power strips, which constitutes the crux of the study. As technology develops, it is obvious that there is a swift increase in the development of smart homes. This is why the project is important because it combines voice control with a secure biometric activator and a wireless connection between the voice control system and the power strip. Through a combination of programming, in-depth research, simulations and analysis of the results, the proposed technique exhibited better performance than the current techniques. The voice recognition module sends signals to the first transceiver, which acts as the transmitter, and from there, to the second transceiver, which acts as the receiver. Finally, the signal is sent to the relay module, which controls the socke

Design and Implementation of a Computer-Based Power Management System

Power supply is of great importance and interrupting its supply may impact negatively on our daily activities. With the application of power management systems, the vulnerability of energy is effectively managed, thereby ensuring a smooth flow of energy requirements for domestic and industrial operations. This also reconciles efficiency, safety, economic, health and environmental conditions. Therefore, this paper presents the design, construction and implementation of a computer-based power management system for household applications. It enables the user to transfer management of supply to appliances in the house to a real time monitoring, switching and control system. This is achieved by programming an Atmega 328 microcontroller, which coordinates the overall activities of the system from a central control unit through an ESP8266 module. This wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module is where internally processed result is being sent to the central control unit. System design shows that the interoperability of the power management system is hinged upon a Wi-Fi as the signals are sent as packets in ASCII format from the point harnessed by the GUI software. The design was tested for performance and results show that when the power up icon is clicked on the personal computer, the bulb glows and when the power down button is clicked, the bulb goes off. Also, the measured and actual current of the transformer used in the design, justifies the efficiency of the power management system. The system design was seen to be more scalable and flexible when compared with existing home automation systems, and the hardware interface module can be handled by one server when there is Wi-Fi coverage. In conclusion, it is seen that power can be effectively managed from the personal computer, thereby reducing the overall power consumption in the facility

Plc And Mobile Application Based Lab Automation

In order to save energy and time, to ensure safety as well as to reduce the human intervention, automation plays a vital role in today’s human life. Though there has been significant development, individual’s routine task has to be automated. Here in this work smart phones are used for automation as they are used throughout the day. In addition to above PLC and Microcontroller are also used for automation. Lab automation (Industrial automation lab) allows us to control lab appliances such as computers, Programmable logic controllers, Pump, Lights and Fans. In Lab, fire accidents due to short circuits can be prevented; sensing the usage of high power handling equipment or hazardous equipment in the absence of lab in charge and automatic ON/OFF can be detected and tested using this technology

ANDROID BASED HOME AUTOMATION AND ENERGY CONSERVATION

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of three main components: nodes, gateways, and software. The spatially distributed measurement nodes interface with sensors to monitor assets or their environment. In a WSN network the devices are connected to WSN nodes wherein the entire nodes uses Zigbee network to transfer the status of connected applications to a controller which controls the whole applications but the main drawback of Wireless sensor networks is its high interference, low coverage area and ability to control only low power devices. In order to overcome these drawbacks Android equipped devices are used to control the applications over GPRS network. Android equipped devices allow the user to control various applications over wireless networks. Being an open sourced platform it allows the user to design a custom module which controls the home applications by connecting the android equipped device and its corresponding home applications to an MCU wherein it uses relay circuits to connect the entire applications using GPRS network to connect the application controller and the android device. These devices can be used to control industrial applications, home applications like light, fan etc., and thereby conserving electricity

Emergency vehicle traffic signal preemption system

An emergency vehicle traffic light preemption system for preemption of traffic lights at an intersection to allow safe passage of emergency vehicles. The system includes a real-time status monitor of an intersection which is relayed to a control module for transmission to emergency vehicles as well as to a central dispatch office. The system also provides for audio warnings at an intersection to protect pedestrians who may not be in a position to see visual warnings or for various reasons cannot hear the approach of emergency vehicles. A transponder mounted on an emergency vehicle provides autonomous control so the vehicle operator can attend to getting to an emergency and not be concerned with the operation of the system. Activation of a priority-code (i.e. Code-3) situation provides communications with each intersection being approached by an emergency vehicle and indicates whether the intersection is preempted or if there is any conflict with other approaching emergency vehicles. On-board diagnostics handle various information including heading, speed, and acceleration sent to a control module which is transmitted to an intersection and which also simultaneously receives information regarding the status of an intersection. Real-time communications and operations software allow central and remote monitoring, logging, and command of intersections and vehicles
